## Quick description

## Description

## Where the Deta DC440 fits

The Deta DC440 is made for petrol and diesel cars without automatic engine stop. If your car has no Start-Stop and had a 44 Ah battery, the DC440 is a direct replacement.
At 44 Ah it is a small size: the usual choice for petrol superminis and city cars with little equipment. The DC440 belongs to the Deta DETA Standard range. [See all Deta batteries](https://bateriasonline.es/en/deta-batteries)

## Deta DC440 vs DB500, DC412 and DA530

The real differences between the DC440 and the closest Deta models:

| Model | Capacity | Cold cranking (EN) | Dimensions (mm) | Positive | Weight |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Deta DC440 (this one) | 44 Ah | 360 A | 207 × 175 × 190 | right | 11 kg |
| Deta DB500 | 50 Ah | 450 A | 207 × 175 × 190 | right | 12.1 kg |
| Deta DC412 | 41 Ah | 370 A | 207 × 175 × 175 | right | 10.6 kg |
| Deta DA530 | 53 Ah | 540 A | 207 × 175 × 190 | right | 12.7 kg |

- Deta DB500: 6 Ah more, 90 A more cranking power, the same L1 case.
- Deta DC412: 3 Ah less, 10 A more cranking power, a different height (175 mm instead of 190 mm, LB1). It is the option if your battery tray cannot take the 190 mm height of the DC440.
- Deta DA530: 9 Ah more, 180 A more cranking power, the same L1 case.

## Before ordering the DC440, check this

- Measure the space: the DC440 takes up 207 × 175 × 190 mm (European case size L1).
- With the terminals facing you, the positive terminal of the DC440 is on the right.
- With 44 Ah, the DC440 replaces an original battery of that capacity or slightly less.
- The DC440 delivers 360 A cold cranking (EN standard); do not go below what your original battery states.
- If your car has Start-Stop, the DC440 is not the right one: it needs an EFB or an AGM.

## What it means that the DC440 is lead-acid

Inside, the DC440 is classic lead-acid: liquid electrolyte and lead plates. If the DC440 is left discharged for weeks it sulphates: a maintenance charger prevents this.

## Frequently asked questions about the Deta DC440

### DC440 or DB500: which one suits me?

Compared with the DC440, the Deta DB500 has 6 Ah more and 90 A more cranking power. If your current battery says 450 A or more, choose the DB500; if it says 360 A or less, the DC440 is enough. Both measure 207 × 175 × 190 mm, so they fit the same tray.

### Deta DC440 or DC412: what changes?

Mainly the height: the DC440 is 190 mm tall (L1) and the Deta DC412 175 mm (LB1), with the same length and width. In capacity and cranking power, the DC412 offers 41 Ah and 370 A against 44 Ah and 360 A. Before choosing between the DC440 and the DC412, measure the free height of the battery compartment with the cover or bonnet closed.

### Can the Deta DC440 be used in a car with Start-Stop?

No. The DC440 is a lead-acid battery for cars without automatic engine stop; Start-Stop needs an EFB or an AGM.

### How much does the Deta DC440 weigh?

11 kg, with 44 Ah of capacity. For reference, the Deta DB500 (50 Ah) weighs 12.1 kg.

### Which battery is equivalent to the Deta DC440?

With the same dimensions, polarity and similar capacity you have the Exide EC440, Tudor TC440 and Fulmen FC440. As the DC440 is a conventional battery, an EFB or AGM of the same size also works.

### What case size is the Deta DC440?

Case size L1: 207 × 175 × 190 mm. The DC440 fits any standard L1 battery tray such as the Exide EC440.

### Which side is the positive terminal on the Deta DC440?

On the DC440, the positive terminal is on the right with the terminals facing you: compare it with your current battery, because with reversed polarity the cables will not reach.
